This is supposed to be dexosR rated but doesn't say it on the bottle. Every one I have seen only says dexos. Anybody know why?
Mobil 1 0w40 supercar oil
- Thread starter guybb3
- Start date
Well that was short lived, Mobil 1 FS Euro 0W-40 is now gone from the DexosR GM page, as is the Mobil 1 ESP 0W-40 entry. What remains is Mobil 1 Supercar 0W-40 and 5W-50 along with three new entries.
Castrol EDGE M 0W-40
and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0W-40 API SP and SQ
Not that I throw a ton of weight in this but it's interesting. Maybe aligning with the nuanced "back and forth" recall language of the L87?

The Dexos R logo is with black and red letters, and a checkered flag. There is no letter R on it.

Every silver lining has a cloud - what came out of the temporary dexos R approvals is that Mobil 1 Euro 0w40 is still a big bang for the buck …

Don’t know - but North American sports cars will narrow it down to a pencil tip …
One of the most scrutinized and approved oils on earth. It's arguably never the "best" but it's really, really hard to think of an application for which it would be wholly unsuitable. When everyone from Porsche to Mercedes to BMW to GM to VW can agree that an oil meets or surpasses their demanding OEM tests, that's a pretty special oil in anyone's book...
And historically, M1's 0w oils are showcase oils that always have the best of their formulation knowledge it seems.
0W-40 Supercar is some good stuff! I put it in my 38 year old Toyota 22RE 4-cyl! Pumps great when cold and thick enough to keep the oil burning down a bit when hot. Hot idle spec is >4psi and I get about 10psi so I'm happy.
And I can tell people my 1987 4Runner is Dexos-R rated!

Thank you! Looked at the back and front and TOTALLY missed that.
